Creates a square grid from a bounding box.

• bbox Array<number> extent in [minX, minY, maxX, maxY] order

• cellSide number of each cell, in units

• options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})

  • options.units string used in calculating cellSide, can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default 'kilometers')
  • options.mask Feature<(Polygon | MultiPolygon)>? if passed a Polygon or MultiPolygon, the grid Points will be created only inside it
  • options.properties Object passed to each point of the grid (optional, default {})

var bbox = [-95, 30 ,-85, 40];
var cellSide = 50;
var options = {units: 'miles'};

var squareGrid = turf.squareGrid(bbox, cellSide, options);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [squareGrid]

Returns FeatureCollection<Polygon> grid a grid of polygons
